Disc brake conversion

[BillyBBad]

Need help doing this, I have a 68 Barracuda that im changing over to disc brakes.
I need a parts list of all the stuff I will need. and some advice on how to do it. I know I can buy the kit but im working with a extream budget here so buying as I can will work best for now. Plus I can get the parts at jobber price.

Can I leave it manual brakes or will I have to go to power?

Thanks to all that help on this,
Billy

Heres a link to a parts list for disc brakes.

Manual brakes will be more than adequate to stop your car. I would go with the lightweight late model type of master cylinder. Let me know if you need the adapter for the conversion.

I used M-body spindles from an '85 Fifth Ave. I have no alignment problems and no bump steer issues.

And here's a link with Moog part numbers for ball joints, tie rods and bushings.

basically just find a 73-up a-body with the disc brakes and split the lower ball joint and take from there up... grab the master cyl. (for a core) and the brake pedal rod. and also grab the proportional valve below the master cyl. on the frame rail. get it home . clean the parts up ,replace what needs to be replaced and bolt it on... its really an easy swap....
